From California again we get a glimpse of the future – or the future that a political class is consciously seeking to prepare for us in reshaping the culture. During the summer the legislature enacted, and Governor Jerry Brown signed into law, SB48, as an amendment to “the Education Code, relating to instruction.” That Code had already made ample provision to instruct the children of California in the contributions made by all racial and ethnic groups supplying votes for politicians. But there was an appreciation also for the contributors who were “entrepreneurs” and labor unions, and whose stories deserved to be told. With SB48 the legislature took a further step by adding: “Pacific Islanders, European Americans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Americans.” Read more…
The Nebraska Supreme Court has granted child custody rights to the former lesbian partner of a biological mother.
Susan Schwerdtfeger broke up with her lesbian partner five years after the birth of her son through in vitro fertilization. She told the court that her former partner did not pay to help support the youngster — while Teri Latham, the former partner, sought visitation rights because she shared in the cost of the IVF procedure and had tried to visit the child since the breakup.

Back in July, the California legislature passed SB 48. It mandates that all public schools must include positive discussions of the sexual orientations of transgender, bisexual, and gay Americans when teaching their contributions to history. This includes rewriting text books and using supplemental discussion materials. Read more…
What’s to keep students from lying for the sake of a scholarship?
by Bob Kellogg
Is being lesbian, “gay,” bisexual, or transgender a special talent? FRC’s Peter Sprigg says a church-affiliated college in Illinois apparently thinks so.
Elmhurst College in suburban Chicago has added to its application form a question regarding sexual orientation, making it the first school in the U.S. to do so. Reportedly in an effort to increase campus diversity, the 3,000-plus-student school is asking applicants: “Would you consider yourself to be a member of the LGBT community?” (See earlier story) Read more…
What’s it like to have a child with someone who’s a friend but not a lover? More and more people are doing just that, to satisfy their broodiness. Helen Croydon investigates.
Seven years ago, when Sabrina Morgan, 33, was single and desperate for a child, she found herself chatting to Kam Wong, 41, a gay man who was longing to be a father, in an online fertility forum. ‘I instantly thought he was genuine, down-to-earth, laidback and flexible,’ says Sabrina. Read more…
We often protest when homophobes insist that same sex marriage will change marriage for straight people too. But in some ways, they’re right. Here’s how gay relationships will change the institution—but for the better. By Ari Karpel
When birth control pills were making Megan’s sex drive almost nonexistent, she told her boyfriend, Colin, what many gay men in a similar position might say to theirs: “If you want to have sex, feel free to sleep with someone else; just don’t tell me about it.” Read more…

Australian government sources reveal that homosexuals and people of other self-identified genders are much more likely to attempt suicide than the general community.
Federal Minister for Mental Health and Ageing, Paul Butler, says: Read more…
Why have gay activists instigated media attention over ex-gays and the husband of Presidential candidate Michelle Bachmann?
Apparently, Mr. Bachmann, who has a PhD in clinical psychology, operates several counseling centers which also offer services to homosexual clients seeking to overcome unwanted same-sex attractions. But because even one ex-gay proves that homosexual behavior is not innate or immutable, the gay lobby’s fear of their former members results in false claims and attacks aimed at preventing homosexuals from exercising their right to self-determination. They cannot bear to have even one homosexual leave homosexuality, hence their outrage at Dr. Bachmann. Read more…

California’s new gay-friendly curriculum raises questions about the future of government-run schools.
Earlier this month, the left-leaning California State Legislature overwhelmingly passed The FAIR Education Act (SB 48) and has sent the bill on Governor Jerry Brown for what will surely be a celebratory signing. The FAIR Education Act is the seventh sexual indoctrination law to teach the state’s children to regard homosexuality, transsexuality (sex-changes operations) and bisexuality as good and natural. This is another in an impressive string of legal victories by gay activists. On the other hand, it further fuels a growing national discontent with public education. Read more…
Are you supposed to have sex at work? I guess it depends on your profession, but for most of us the answer is “no.” Why then is corporate America obsessed with training about sex? Read more…
If only lower income heterosexuals were as keen to marry as some homosexuals, the United States would be a much stronger country.
Supporters of gay marriage (most prominently The New York Times, which reported New York’s legalization of such unions last week with about as much hoopla as it did the Japanese surrender in 1945) are ecstatic. Read more…
Australian states follow the crowd in allowing the radical re-ordering of children’s lives.
Across Australia homosexual activists are seeking to redefine marriage to include same-sex relationships. Fortunately, although to some surprisingly and disappointingly, Prime Minister Julia Gillard has affirmed her personal support of marriage remaining what it always has been, a commitment between a man and a woman.

A California pro-family group says lawmakers’ decision to create a holiday in honor of an openly homosexual politician has dealt a detrimental blow to the state’s school children.
In an email to SaveCalifornia.com, Deanna Aguire of Moreno Valley told the pro-family organization that her daughter and students at Moreno Valley High School were forced to attend a Gay-Straight Alliance rally in honor of the late San Francisco politician, Harvey Milk. Aguire’s daughter told the teacher she did not want to go to the rally, and only after persistence did the teacher allow her to opt out. Read more…

The correct answer was D. Less than 4 tenths of one percent, or .4%.

They’re the ones who control what gets broadcast to your television. This is how they convince your neighbors, your children, your society.
They don’t want you to think. They don’t want you to question what would happen if their plans come to fruition. They just want you to watch, and be entertained. Eventually, if you mind is sufficiently numb, you will come to agree.
